I see a completely different person to who I am. I still think I'm 9 stone and sometimes when I see photos or catch my reflection I'm shocked at how big Iv got.
Does anyone else feel like that ?
I'm in my late 20's yet I feel like a middle aged frump

Yes. I've lost nearly 2st and sometimes I have to put on my "big" clothes to remind me that I've lost. Now that I have clothes that fit properly again I find it hard to measure it and can't trust what I see in the mirror. Don't worry too much it's quite common and it takes a while for your head to catch up. There are some other older threads about this you might want to search them out.

Yep. I deluded myself for ages as to the size i had gotten. I've had to pick out some "before" photos for group this evening (for tomorrow morning) and now I really do see how big I got. The thing is I'm now smaller, and you will get smaller too, and when you catch yourself in the mirror you will see that 9 stone girl again and.she'll be smiling back at you.
The best thing. Today my mother said "i think you will need a smaller size" when I picked something up. Here's to many more of those moments for all of us.
My advice would be to stick to plan and get to a place where you are happy about looking in the mirror most of the time before you are middle aged (like me!)
Look at Jessikaslashes before and after thread for inspiration and lots of others on here it is doable x
Yes, Jess (jessikalashes) is amazing and super lovely
It works the other way too, i look in the mirror and see the person i used to be at 21 stone...

Group Man of The Year 2012
It has taken me a long time to stop seeing the 20+ stone person I was, and even though I know that I am a lot different, I am still pleasantly surprised when I do see photos of me now
Next Goal - to reach 6.5 st by Christmas
Biggest Loser, Woman of the Year & Miss Slinky 2012 (in group)
28 and half a lb to Target
It works both ways for me-when I was 20+ stone I used to see a 16st person looking back at me and I still see that person even though I'm 3 st lighter than that x
Completely understand the denial when looking in th mirror! Today though the truth was staring straight back at me...need to get myself on plan properly!
